GRADUATE SCHOOL The Graduate School currently consists of the Dean, a Senior Associate Dean, an Assistant Dean, the Graduate Council, the Graduate Faculty, and the Graduate School staff. General policies and standards of the Graduate School are established by the Graduate Faculty. Any policy change must be approved by the graduate dean(s) and the Graduate Council. The Graduate School is responsible for enforcing minimum general standards of graduate work in the University and for coordinating the graduate programs of the various colleges and divisions of the University. Responsibility for detailed operation of graduate programs is vested in individual colleges, schools, divisions, and academic units. In most colleges an associate dean or other administrator is directly responsible for graduate studies in that college. The Graduate Council helps the Dean in being the agent of the Graduate Faculty for executing policy related to graduate study and associated research. The Council (chaired by the Graduate Dean) considers petitions, policy changes, and creation of or revisions to graduate degree programs, concentrations, and certificates. All faculty members who serve on supervisory committees or who direct master’s theses and doctoral dissertations must first be appointed to the Graduate Faculty. A graduate program’s academic unit nominates faculty members for appointment to the Graduate Faculty. Nominations must be approved by the Department Chair/Director, the College Dean, and a vote of the current graduate faculty members in the nominating unit. The appointment is formally approved by the Graduate Dean. The academic unit determines the level of duties for each Graduate Faculty member, though it is expected that all Graduate Faculty members should be available and willing to serve as external members of doctoral dissertation committees across the University of Florida campus. A graduate student is elected each year by the Graduate Student Council to serve a two-year term on the Graduate Council, serving the first year as a nonvoting alternate member, attending and participating in meetings, and the second year as a voting member. To be eligible for this appointment, a student must be enrolled in a doctoral program. Members of the Graduate Council are found at: http://graduateschool.ufl.edu/academics/graduatecouncil.
